New Video of Deadly ICE Shooting of Alex - No Weapon Shown, Trump Claims Contested

New videos have surfaced capturing the moment 37-year-old Alex Jeffrey Pretty was fatally shot by agents of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis. According to the videos, Pretty was attempting to protect a woman who had been violently pushed to the ground by agents when he was pepper-sprayed and subsequently shot. ICE claims the agents fired in self-defense, as Pretty allegedly approached with a weapon, but the videos challenge this assertion. Pretty's parents are denouncing lies from the Trump administration and stating that their son was a nurse. The incident has sparked outrage and protests, with Democrats and Republicans clashing over the issue, and the possibility of a congressional hearing.
